Francisca Chukwu brings elite rebounding energy and paint presence to UIW
In the 2025 FIBA U19 Women’s Basketball World Cup, Francisca Chukwu averaged 7.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game for Nigeria, and she posted a 10-rebound outing against China[1][3]. At 6'0", the UIW Cardinals forward profiles as a high-motor rebounder who can finish around the rim, give physical minutes, and impact possessions without needing a lot of touches[5][14]. If a team wants hustle, interior toughness, and a player who can alter the glass, she’s the kind of forward who quietly makes the whole operation sturdier[1][3][5].
